You might not have had your day in front of the Pro Scouts. Well this is your chance. The day before the NFL has their Pro Bowl®, the Pro Scouts will be 3 miles away at The PDFL Futures Game.

The Futures Game is open to 120 post-college, free agents, and elite athletes to play in front of Pro Scouts from across the US and Canada.

Like so many football athletes you might have been injured, unable to play, or the scout just never came to your day in the sun. This event has been tailored to fit you. It's only football. That's right the focus of this event is to see you PLAY football, not bench press or high jump your way into the big league.

You will be matched on a squad to showcase your talent in front of the scouts for the day. The PDFL, who is hosting the event, will be providing registered players with jerseys, and shorts for the bump football workout and game. Scouts will be calling out specific players for an extended workout and for further review.

Before the event we will need your game highlight film, and any necessary information you'd like them to know about you. We will also need a number of qualifications for your entry.

By Worthy Vieth September 23, 2014Seattle, WA – After a long search, the SeaTac Cobras has finally found its man. The Cobras hired William McCray on Friday to become the new general manager for the SeaTac Cobras. McCray brings 26 years of coaching and managing experience, McCray played a short stint with the University of Tennessee as a backup Quarterback in the early 1980’s before leaving for the military. From his military and coaching experience William McCray was able to understand that the game of football is 98 percent mental and only 2 percent physical. McCray’s mindset is all about winning and making sure there is a goal when doing something. McCray said, “You have to win the mental game first, I will beat you at Monopoly, if I need to because I love to win just that much. When you go from Monopoly to the Chess board, I must be 4 plays a head in order to beat you. The first move will determine whether I beat you in 7 plays or 3 plays but the main goal is I will beat you.” When asked about how McCray will change the culture of the SeaTac Cobras, he said, “There are 3 opportunities in developing a change of culture of an organization. First, is building integrity, once they can build integrity from within, they will understand that their own flame will begin with them and then they will understand how to be successful. Second, is the deadliest of character, which allows them for them to have a sustainability of growth, and the final one, is unselfishness, sacrificing themselves for a purpose is more important than anything they can gain. So sacrificing for your teammates, in order to be successful is more important for a unit to grow. ”- William McCray New general manager William McCray specified that the goal this year is to build a developmental league but yet sustaining young men into becoming men within the PDFL and utilizing them as a stepping stone to gain a step towards the NFL. The SeaTac Cobras will be looking for a great start in the 2015 season. With William McCray becoming the new face of the SeaTac Cobras, he will be looking to finish up their staff in the next couple of weeks and get ready for the upcoming 2015 season.

AzCardinals.com Excerpt --- The way Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates make it look, every undersized power forward in college should ditch the sneakers for spikes and hold tight for inevitable NFL stardom.

Those two highlight the list of former basketball players who have made the transition to the NFL look easy, converting quickly into dangerous tight ends. The list also includes the Broncos’ Julius Thomas and the Browns’ Jordan Cameron, as well as the player who started the trend, former Chiefs and Falcons star Tony Gonzalez.

The Cardinals would love for a similar development to take shape and have two players – Andre Hardy and Darren Fells – who fit the criteria. It’s just not that simple.

“It’s nowhere near as easy as those guys make it look,” Hardy said. “It’s actually been a much harder journey than Iexpected it would be.”

Hardy would have played college football if the opportunity presented itself out of high school, but there was more recruiting interest from basketball coaches. He played two years of hoops at Oral Roberts and two more at Cal State Fullerton, averaging 7.0 points and 5.6 rebounds for his career.

Even then, Hardy’s mind would wander every Saturday during the fall. ( GO TO FULL ARTICLE )
